COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Already trailing in the second half against West Virginia, the Maryland Terrapins lost their best player and could never recover.

That all but ensured a 69-59 loss in the NCAA Tournament's round of 32.

"He took a beating tonight," coach Mark Turgeon said of leading-scorer Melo Trimble, who was knocked out of the game with 8:25 remaining and the Terrapins down 53-46. "Would the outcome have been different? We don't know. But obviously we weren't the same without him out there."
